Chapter 569 Wolf Cavalry

Standing on the tower, Yu Fei could see clearly that the burning catapults of the orcs were a thousand meters away from the city wall. According to Eslazer's level of war machines and magic abilities, unless it was a large amount of high-level magic Or the curse, otherwise humans can't threaten these burning catapults at all.

Yu Fei was not at all surprised that the range of the burning catapults of the orcs far exceeded that of the war machines in the world of Eslazer.The status of the burning catapult in the orc race is the same as that of the blade thrower in the night elf race, and the range is also far, at the same level.

The incendiary bombs constantly hitting the city wall made the mages of Cyric City busy casting water and earth magic to extinguish the flames and repair the city wall.The effect of the Mage Tower's maximum attack boost and increasing the range of attacking spells is not reflected at all.

Just in this situation, a cavalry suddenly rushed out of the orc army in the distance.In the direction Yu Fei observed, about [-] cavalry rushed out, and the other three directions should be the same.

Yu Fei's keen vision made it easy for him to see the appearance of these orc cavalry.The mounts of this cavalry unit are huge black, gray or brown giant wolves, and the knights riding on the giant wolves also look like werewolves.

But Yu Fei discovered the difference between these wolf cavalry and the werewolves of the Frostwolf clan.Compared with the local werewolves of Eslazer, these wolf cavalry of the new orcs are similar to a giant upright wolf in appearance, and only a humanoid face can be seen on their faces.

And the local werewolves in Eslazer, such as the werewolves in the Frostwolf clan that Yu Fei observed through the bear warrior's perspective, are actually closer to human form.Only in the ears, tail, etc., it can be seen that it is not human.

This may be one of the reasons for the emergence of the new and ancient orcs.The origin of the orcs in Eslazer is unknown, but the evolution towards human form has not changed.This may be due to the fact that many orcs have intermarried with humans.

However, the Beast Race in Warcraft does not have the word "human" in its name. The Beast Race and the Human Race are two completely independent races, and there was no intersection at the beginning.

It should be for this reason that after the local orcs of Eslazer chose to fuse the power that came to them from the Warcraft orcs, there will be various changes.Embodied in this wolf cavalry, it is that the appearance that was close to the human form has become atavistic.

These returning wolf cavalry rushed very fast, and under the cover of the burning catapult, they soon came under the walls of Cyric City.The mages were busy repairing the city wall, only a little attack magic flew out, but failed to stop the wolf cavalry.

When these wolf cavalrymen came under the noses of Yu Fei and the others, they all raised their scimitars and began to slash and chop the city wall.

It stands to reason that if it is not a specialized siege equipment, even if an individual weapon is a giant hammer and axe, it is difficult to cause damage to the magic-reinforced city wall.However, above the city of Cyric, the human officers and soldiers all looked dignified.

Taking a closer look, the scimitar in the wolf cavalry's hand, which is like a toothpick compared to the city wall, slashed at the city wall, and it was actually reinforced by two magic processes from fossil to mud to mud to stone. There was a big gap in the city wall.

"Sure enough." Paramount frowned, talking to himself and seeming to be talking to Yu Fei. "I don't know what these orc weapons are made of. The damage to the city wall is so huge, but when they are actually fighting, they are not as sharp as when they were hacking the city wall. It is really strange."

Yu Fei understood in his heart that the situation of the wolf cavalry who could easily damage the city wall but could not reflect the advanced weapons in the battle was indeed difficult for the natives of Eslazer to understand.

As for Yu Fei himself, he understood the reason for this situation.In the Warcraft game, the attack type of the wolf cavalry has a siege, which can cause more than twice the damage when destroying buildings.It is reflected in this real world, that is, it is easier for them to destroy the city wall than to kill people.

Originally, the mages in Cyric City were a bit choked up just to deal with the burning catapult.Almost all the magicians stationed in the mage tower work together to equalize the repair speed and destruction speed of the city wall.

But after the wolf cavalry of the orcs participated in the attack on the city wall, the officers on the top of the city could clearly find that the speed of repairing the city wall could not keep up with the speed of destruction of the orcs.

"Continuing like this is not an option. If you persist in the city wall for at most half an hour, a hole will be opened, and in less than two hours, the city wall will be completely destroyed." Paramount's tone was affirmative, and he quickly discussed the solution with the officers around him. measure.

Yu Fei, as the head of the Eighth Army Mage Corps, was naturally drawn into this brief meeting, but he was not prepared to express any opinions.Anyway, in the eyes of these soldiers, I am a magician who is not good at military affairs, so I just sit by and watch how the elite officers of the Holy Lion Empire deal with the situation at hand.

A tall, thin officer made the first comment. "The repair speed of the city wall cannot keep up with the speed of destruction, which is mainly caused by the wolf cavalry under the city. In fact, we only need to kill these wolf cavalry to solve the crisis."

The tall and thin officer seemed to be speaking in a precise manner, but after he finished speaking, all the officers present, including Yu Fei, looked at this guy with disdain.Are you talking nonsense?What is needed now is a solution, who doesn't know that killing the wolf cavalry can eliminate the crisis!

In the past, Yu Fei might have asked Paramount and other officers why they didn't use wood and rolling stones to greet these wolf cavalrymen under the city?They were hacking at the city wall with all their strength, regardless of the situation above their heads, they were like living targets.

But after fighting a lot of battles in Eslazer—to be precise, after seeing the night elf troops and humans fighting a lot of battles, Yu Fei didn't wonder why Cyric City didn't have such defensive equipment up.

In the human world, only those towns and small cities could defend the city with wood and rolling stones.In slightly larger cities, mage towers are generally built.The war spells amplified by the mage tower are used to defend the city, which is much more lethal than the wood rolling stone, and it is also more convenient.

This city of Cyric is the second largest city in the kingdom where the Eighth Army is currently staying. There are many mage towers in the city. Naturally, it is impossible to be equipped with "low-end" defense equipment such as wood rolling stones.Therefore, when the magicians were restrained, the wolf cavalry could bully under the city wall and destroy the city wall without any scruples.

As for archers, there are too few soldiers in Eslazer who use archers as weapons, and there are only some ordinary archers in the army.Archers who have not practiced fighting spirit or only have the strength of trainees cannot cause effective damage to these wolf cavalry whose strength is obviously around silver.

Of course Paramount knew this too, and knew that the tall thin officer was talking nonsense.However, he did not reprimand that guy, but directly gave the officers present two choices, and asked everyone to discuss and make a decision on these two choices.

"There is no need to think about other things now. The decision to be made is to either stick to the city wall and fight the orcs in the street after a delay of half an hour to two hours. Or abandon the city wall and go directly out of the city to fight the orcs in the field."

Paramount's tone was very firm, not giving the officers a chance to think about other paths.Also, time is running out, and there is no room for more thinking.

As soon as these two options were presented, almost all the officers present subconsciously wanted to choose the former one.The advantage of human beings in wars with alien races is to rely on the fortification of cities.If you give up the city wall, wouldn't you use your own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths?
But Yu Fei could see that Paramount actually wanted to adopt the method of abandoning the city wall.

Sure enough, when the officers opened their mouths and wanted to say continue to stick to the city wall, Paramount stopped them with stern eyes.These officers are all old subordinates of Paramount, so they naturally know what the commander of the legion means - this is to make them think more about it.
